Update: The Pacific Division-leading Ducks (35-14-7) returned home after completing a 2-2-1 trip that featured a pair of blowout losses to the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers.

Goaltender Frederik Andersen will sit out for the third and final time after being placed on injured reserve after suffering an upper-body injury in a Feb. 8 loss to the Lightning. John Gibson is expected to start in goal tonight after he made 35 saves in a grinding 2-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes to end the trip Thursday. Team captain Ryan Getzlaf leads the Ducks with 54 points, including 37 assists. Corey Perry has 23 goals and Matt Beleskey has 21. Alex Ovechkin had a team-leading 33 goals for the Capitals (29-16-10) going into Saturday’s game against the Kings.
